I bought my Corolla new in 2005 and still drive it daily 12 years later. It has worn well with few repairs needed, probably totaling about $1800 the entire time I have owned the car. I maintain my vehicle very well so it will continue to run and that could have added to its intense reliability but overall, I think its the best vehicle my husband and I have ever owned.

This is the best car in the class for performance compacts. Very good performance + great build + great resale value + good safety (with side airbags). Considered Nissan Sentra (reliability problems) and Honda Accord (price problems). Corolla S didn't have enough oomph for me, plus IMPOSSIBLE to find with ABS. XRS could use more oomph at low RPMs, but still plenty for day-to-day. This car's engine "boosts" at 7K RPM, but you'll rarely have a chance to get up there. 30-32 MPG highway, you'll downshift out of 6th to pass quickly though. Great handling comes with rougher ride. You'll get "jostled" in your seat going over rougher roads, but very stable in corners, especially on/off ramps.
